And I thought I was a geek

[cjsmith]

I grew up with a cat named Mu. Yeah, the Greek letter.

Her predecessor was named Pi "because he was irrational" (or so said my dad when anyone asked).

This composer named a cat Lepton.

Hat tip to albadger, along with my apologies for reposting this link since it does indeed still discuss the possibility of making that opera.

Ah, but then you can't do the whole 'out damned Spot' jokes.

But Spot and Cat work very well. Or for a dog and a cat, Puff and Spot, in that order.
